Origin

It resembles a primate of some sort. It appears to have been based on a practitioner of yoga and is meditating in almost all of the media it appears in. Its yoga position in its artwork and sprites is the Lotus, where one crosses his/her legs and places their feet on the opposing thighs. This position supposedly holds the mind completely steady for long periods of time and calms it, heightening the user's senses. Its hat somewhat resembles a turban and may also be the caps worn by many depictions of Hindu deities, such as Shiva, who are commonly seen meditating.

Name origin

Meditite's name is a corruption of meditate and possibly a corruption of tyke. It may also be a corruption of the word tight, as in the phrase tight focus. Asanan is most likely a corruption of asana, which in yoga refers to a pose or posture.
